Cleo was nice enough to take me out for breakfast. I told him about me and Dave and how we are having a baby. He didn't seem mad or unhappy that I was talking about Dave. He just listen and nod his head. Shit, I wanted him to leave or walk out on me. But I need a friend.

"So is Dave happy about having a baby?"Cleo ask. I nod my head while sipping my sweat tea.

"He's excited but at first he wasn't"I frown.

"Cause he already have a child and another baby"he said.

"What other baby?"I narrowed my eyebrows at him.

"Phoenix pregnant for him, right?"he ask.

"Hell no. She just lying"I rolled my eyes.

"Wow. Protective over your man I see"he lick the spoon. "I was like over my girlfriend when she was pregnant for me but come to find out she was pregnant for my cousin friend"

"Damn"my eyes widen.

"Ready to leave?"Cleo ask.

"To where?"I said.

"Anywhere. Let's go and have fun"he said. He got up but I didn't. Why would I want to have fun with this fool? I don't trust him that much. "What's wrong?"

"Where we really going?"I ask.

"To my house"he said. "It's a two story mansion, you gone love it"

"I saw mansion, condoa, and luxury apartments before. What's so good about yours?"

"I'm just inviting you over. A friendly gesture"he said.

"Well, as a friendly gesture from me to you. Let's go out for a walk, you can drop me off home"I smile.

"Okay"he smile back and walk with me to the door. We walk out the building seeing the sun shining bright. The sun reflected on my skin. "Damn"

"What?"I turn to him.

"You look very beautiful"he said.

"Thanks"I smile. "Ready to go"

"Yeah"he walk me to his car. This day better go great.
